THX Pa'li!

Definitely! I finally got to watch Avatar the other night, as hadn't seen it all summer, And yeah this image, or as Apache Blanca says below, there is one where we can see the whole of Home Tree start to lean, and the burning fires below. Just need to get to a decent computer to capture the screen shot! But i think it captures that moment well .. But if we end up rendering it wether by painting or photoshopping, .. we can caputure the other feelings as well .. somehow the 'shocked' look of Na'Vi faces .. maybe symbolically in a corner of the card ..

So now the next part .. is the reflection .. when we see the destruction of Home Tree .. and intuitively now .. embracing the meaning of the Tower card .. what does it start to mean to us .. in Avatar terms .. Umm I guess in both cases .. as again Apache Blanca your suggestion below, would be good to turn to the Na'Vi language references, lol, for referencing!

Hmmm .... might need more help here on that part too!

^^^this - or a screenshot just before it, when we can see How tall & powerful Home Tree is (was ) (sorry I don' t have any screenshots )

Quaritch is El Diablo!

Edited to add: is it possible to have Na'vi names for the cards, too? Quaritch will be Vrrtep then the screenshot - only as a suggestion - would be the one when he caught Jake by the queue - on the usual Devil cards there is often somebody in chains, right?

On the other hand, cards like The Chariot... mgmgmg... what to do with this one? The Na'vi don't have chariots... Altho it could be the image of warriors on direhorses - or else, Jake & Neytiri flying ikrans?
Apache Blanca, first welcome and thank you for joining ...
And second .. what a good idea .. hadn't even thought that far along, but absolutely makes complete sense .. that's the shift .. from just being a Tarot Deck .. to completely Avatar Meaning .. of course the card names should change! THX!

"Its only 'here' that we lose perspective, out at the Cosmic Consciousness Level things get a lot clearer. For example, there is an actual star pattern that is traced in the shape of a Willow Tree, across the breadth of the Milky Way! And no wonder Indigenous peoples refer to the 'here after' as the Happy Hunting Grounds! Has it ever occured to anyone why the bioluminescence dots, on the Na'vi!"

glad you liked it sure somebody from LearnNa'vi can help - or else, we'll go to Paul Frommer!

I've just thought again, The Chariot: Toruk Makto. This should be it! In charge of your own (not only!?) destiny, know where you going, fast powerful movement... Something like this?

PS Added: ooh, wait, Mika! Avatar Tarot Reading... as one of Seattle Meetup 2012 activities...! Hey, if you have a waiting list, add me there pleeeeaaazzze

I want mine told too!! Please plus infinity

It will read:


"You will have tortured life"

So far the cards are right

"You will find something worth fighting for"

True again

"You will meet a tall pretty blue female with a tail"

Yes and..

"Go through hell and back, and hell and back, have a wicked movie type ending. Then have a sequel and repeat"

Wow these cards are GOOD!!
